# Process for updating Wiki pages

*(This protocol is currently in draft.)*

_{Updated **13/03/21**: We are doing a test run of having volunteers manage page updates to be sent to page managers for review.}

In the first instance, all procedures described here are to be tested within the SciBeh team, following which we will look to expand.

1. We have set up a ==private[^fornow]== [GitHub repo](https://github.com/scibeh/c19vaxwiki/issues). Links for the Wiki can be emailed to `[e-mail]`. Through a forwarding system, these emails become GitHub issues in the dedicated repo[^githubmail].

[^githubmail]: See https://fire.fundersclub.com for how to turn emails into github issues.

[^fornow]: We can discuss at later stage, at least after testing, if this should become public.

1. In addition to the SciBeh team, we will recruit curators from:

* Contacting team members directly
* Asking wider workshop participants
* People writing in offering to help

Curators' roles are to email to a dedicated inbox new resources, references, information etc. (with links) about their pages. They should indicate in the email title the subject of this information.

2. A 'super-curator' then sorts the links into project boards for the respective pages. For example, an item that relates to two pages will be assigned to both page boards.

> At the moment the super-curator is Dawn, who will check daily (in the morning) for new issues until we get a feel for the frequency for which new issues arrive.

3. Each page is assigned a **page manager**. The page manager is in charge of keeping the page updated on a ==**weekly**== basis, including using their judgement when an (usually substantive) update needs to be validated by a senior expert who can sign off on the veracity of new information.

The page manager should check their [respective repos](https://hackmd.io/@scibehC19vax/tasklist#Live-Wiki-pages) for materials to update their pages.
_{This is also placed at the bottom of this page for your convenience.}

If new to the Wiki, page managers should also see [welcome page](https://hackmd.io/@scibehC19vax/welcome) for how to navigate their page's GitHub boards and [instructions to authors](https://hackmd.io/@scibehC19vax/instructions) for writing guidelines.

4. ==**NEW** (In test). SciBeh volunteers will check the [respective repos](https://hackmd.io/@scibehC19vax/tasklist#Live-Wiki-pages) for materials to update their pages. They will then push changes into GitHub and email `[e-mail]` to notify that there is a change to be reviewed. The super-curator will then inform the page manager to check the update, merge the request and pull it into the Wiki.==

4. Expert reviewers and curators will be identified in the page credits. This means the page credits should have the following lines:

_{Page manager:
Expert reviewers:
Page curators:
Page contributors:}
